GREAT SOUTHERN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"“Company” or "Great Southern"“Great Southern”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2019,2020, has been derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of that date. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company'sCompany’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission (the “SEC”).
NOTE 2: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company operates as a one-bank holding company. The Company’s business primarily consists of the operations of Great Southern Bank (the “Bank”), which provides a full range of financial services to customers primarily located in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Arkansas. The Bank also originates commercial loans from lending offices in Atlanta, Ga., Chicago, Ill., Dallas, Texas, Denver, Colo., Omaha, Neb. and Tulsa, Okla. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.
The Company’s banking operation is its only reportable segment. The banking operation is principally engaged in the business of originating residential and commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans and funding these loans by attracting deposits from the general public, accepting brokered deposits and borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank and others. The operating results of this segment are regularly reviewed by management to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess performance. Selected information is not presented separately for the Company’s reportable segment, as there is no material difference between that information and the corresponding information in the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Update amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. ThisThe Update affects entities holding financial assets and net investmentinvestments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affectUpdate affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Update was set to be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. During March 2020, pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and guidance from the SecuritiesSEC and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”),FASB, we elected to delay adoption of the new accounting standard relatedunder the Update that is referred to accounting foras the current expected credit lossesloss (“CECL”). Our third quarter methodology. In December 2020, additional legislation was enacted that amended certain provisions of the CARES Act. One of the provisions that was affected by this new legislation allowed for the election to further delay the adoption of the CECL accounting standard to January 1, 2022. An adoption date of January 1, 2021, was also an acceptable option and year-to-datewe elected January 1, 2021 as our adoption date for the CECL standard. As a result, our 2020 financial statements arewere prepared under the existing incurred loss methodology standard for accounting for loan losses.
6
The adoption of the CECL model during the fourthfirst quarter of 2020 will require2021 required us to recognize a one-time cumulative adjustment to our allowance for loancredit losses and a liability for potential losses related to the unfunded portion of our loans and commitments in order to fully transition from the incurred loss model to the CECL model. Upon initial adoption, we expect to increaseincreased the balance of our allowance for credit losses in a range of $11 millionrelated to $14outstanding loans by $11.6 million and createcreated a liability for potential losses related to the unfunded portion of our loans and commitments in a range of $7 million to $10$8.7 million. The after-tax effect of this is expected to result in a decrease inthese adjustments decreased our retained earnings of $14 million to $18by $14.2 million. Further, we have analyzed the impact on our financial statements at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as if we had adopted the CECL accounting standard on January 1, 2020. In addition to the impact from the initial adoption above, under CECL we would expect to further increase the balance of our allowance for credit losses in a range of $-0- to $3 million through a corresponding increase in provision for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This is in addition to the $14.4 million of provision expense already recorded under the incurred loss method during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The liability for potential losses related to the unfunded portion of our loans and commitments would be expected to have no material change during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These estimates are subject to change as material assumptions are refined and model validations are completed.
In January 2017,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles: Goodwill2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides relief for companies preparing for discontinuation of interest rates such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by numerous entities. After 2021, certain LIBOR rates may no longer be published. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued as a reference rate. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and Other: Simplifyingexceptions to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The main provisions for contract modifications include optional relief by allowing the Testmodification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis and other optional expedients regarding embedded features. Optional expedients for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). To simplifyhedge accounting permits changes to critical terms of hedging relationships and to the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test should be performed by comparing thedesignated benchmark interest rate in a fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amounthedge and an impairment charge shouldalso provides relief for assessing hedge effectiveness for cash flow hedges. Companies are able to apply ASU 2020-04 immediately; however, the guidance will only be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessmentavailable for a reporting unitlimited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The application of ASU 2020-04 has not had, and is not expected to determine if the qualitative impairment test is necessary. The nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle should be disclosed upon transition. The amendments in this update are required for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The impact of adopting this new guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2020, the Company performed its annual review of goodwill and intangibles, including consideration of the current circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the valuation of the Company and other bank holding companies. The Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets had occurred at September 30, 2020.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, modify/clarify the specific requirements of certain disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-13 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The impact of adopting this new guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 did not have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. ASU 2021-01 has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, was approximately $33.9$134.5 million and $116.2$24.2 million, respectively, which is approximately 7.6%29.4% and 31.1%5.8% of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio, respectively.
Based on an evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes any declines in fair value for these debt securities are temporary.

Other-than-temporary Impairment. Upon acquisition of a security,Allowance for Credit Losses Beginning January 1, 2021, the Company decides whether it is within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets or will be evaluated for impairment under the accounting guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. The Company does not have, and does not currently expect to have,evaluates all securities within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests. For securities where the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the debt and equity securities impairment model.
The Company periodically evaluates each investment security in an unrealized loss position to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company considers the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the relative amount of the unrealized loss compared to the carrying value of the security, the type of security and other factors. If certain criteria are met, the Company performs additional review and evaluation using observable market values or various inputs in economic modelsquarterly to determine if an unrealizedany securities in a loss is other-than-temporary. The Company uses quoted market pricesposition require a provision for marketable equity securities and uses broker pricing quotes basedcredit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on observable inputs for equity investments that are not traded on a stock exchange.

Likewise, the Company has not experienced historical losses on these types of securities. Accordingly, 0 allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities.
Regarding securities issued by state and political subdivisions, management considers the following when evaluating these securities: (i) current issuer bond ratings, (ii) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (iii) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the underlying assets (mortgages)securities, (iv) updated financial information of the issuer, (v) internal forecasts and multiplies that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the projected collateral loss. The Company also evaluates any current(vi) whether such securities provide insurance or other credit enhancement underlying theseor are pre-refunded by the issuers.

NOTE 6: LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOANCREDIT LOSSES
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, effective January 1, 2021. The guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance, including loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company recorded a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses of $11.6 million.
9
This adjustment brought the balance of the allowance for credit losses to $67.3 million as of January 1, 2021. In addition, the Company recorded an $8.7 million liability for unfunded commitments as of January 1, 2021. The after-tax effect decreased retained earnings by $14.2 million. The adjustment was based upon the Company’s analysis of current conditions, assumptions and economic forecasts at January 1, 2021.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2021, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $1.9 million of the allowance for credit losses.
Results for reporting periods after December 31, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Under the incurred loss model, the Company delayed recognition of losses until it was probable that a loss was incurred. The allowance for loan losses was established as losses were estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses were charged against the allowance when management believed the uncollectability of a loan balance was confirmed. The allowance for loan losses was evaluated on a regular basis by management and was based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. The allowance consisted of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process. Results for reporting periods after December 31, 2020 include loans acquired and accounted for under ASC 310-30 net of discount within the loan classes, while for reporting periods prior to January 1, 2021 the loans acquired and accounted for under ASC 310-30 are separate.
Beginning on January 1, 2021, the allowance for credit losses is measured using an average historical loss model which incorporates relevant information about past events (including historical credit loss experience on loans with similar risk characteristics), current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis. Loans are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics including borrower type, collateral and repayment types and expected credit loss patterns. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, primarily classified and/or TDR loans with a balance greater than or equal to $100,000, are evaluated on an individual basis.
For loans evaluated for credit losses on a collective basis, average historical loss rates are calculated for each pool using the Company’s historical net charge-offs (combined charge-offs and recoveries by observable historical reporting period) and outstanding loan balances during a lookback period. Lookback periods can be different based on the individual pool and represent management’s credit expectations for the pool of loans over the remaining contractual life. In certain loan pools, if the Company’s own historical loss rate is not reflective of the loss expectations, the historical loss rate is augmented by industry and peer data. The calculated average net charge-off rate is then adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These adjustments increase or decrease the average historical loss rate to reflect expectations of future losses given economic forecasts of key macroeconomic variables including, but not limited to, unemployment rate, GDP, disposable income and market volatility. The adjustments are based on results from various regression models projecting the impact of the macroeconomic variables to loss rates. The forecast is used for a reasonable and supportable period before reverting to historical averages using a straight-line method. The forecast-adjusted loss rate is applied to the amortized cost of loans over the remaining contractual lives, adjusted for expected prepayments. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless there is a reasonable expectation that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed. Additionally, the allowance for credit losses considers other qualitative factors not included in historical loss rates or macroeconomic forecasts such as changes in portfolio composition, underwriting practices, or significant unique events or conditions.
ASU 2016-13 requires an allowance for off balance sheet credit exposures; unfunded lines of credit, undisbursed portions of loans, written residential and commercial commitments, and letters of credit. To determine the amount needed for allowance purposes, a utilization rate is determined either by the model or internally for each pool. Our loss model calculates the reserve on unfunded commitments based upon the utilization rate multiplied by the average loss rate factors in each pool with unfunded and committed balances. The liability for unfunded lending commitments utilizes the same model as the allowance for credit losses on loans; however, the liability for unfunded lending commitments incorporates assumptions for the portion of unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and interest is considered a loss unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to principal until the loans are returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all payments contractually due are brought current, payment performance is sustained for a period of time, generally six months, and future payments are reasonably assured. With the exception of consumer loans, charge-offs on loans are recorded when available information indicates a loan is not fully collectible and the loss is reasonably quantifiable. Consumer loans are charged-off at specified delinquency dates consistent with regulatory guidelines.

At March 31, 2021, the largest total modified loans by collateral type were in the following categories: hotel/motel - $69 million; healthcare - $28 million; retail - $22 million; multifamily - $11 million.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had remaining 65 modified commercial loans with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $233 million and 581 modified consumer and mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $18 million.

lengthier deterioration in economic conditions occurs in future periods.
The Company reviews the credit quality of its loan portfolio usingutilizes an internal gradingrisk rating system comprised of a series of grades to categorize loans according to perceived risk associated with the expectation of debt repayment. The analysis of the borrower’s ability to repay considers specific information, including but not limited to current financial information, historical payment experience, industry information, collateral levels and collateral types. A risk rating is assigned at loan origination and then monitored throughout the contractual term for possible risk rating changes.
Satisfactory loans range from Excellent to Moderate Risk, but generally are loans supported by strong recent financial statements. Character and capacity of individuals or company are strong, including reasonable project performance, good industry experience, liquidity and/or net worth of individuals or company. Probability of financial deterioration seems unlikely. Repayment is expected from approved sources over a reasonable period of time.
Watch loans are identified when the borrower has capacity to perform according to terms; however, elements of uncertainty exist. Margins of debt service coverage may be narrow, historical patterns of financial performance may be erratic, collateral margins may be diminished and the borrower may be a new and/or thinly capitalized company. Some management weakness may also exist, the borrowers may have somewhat limited access to other financial institutions, and that classifiesability may diminish in difficult economic times.
Special Mention loans as “Satisfactory,” “Watch,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard” and “Doubtful.” Loans classified as watch are being monitored because of indications of potential weaknesses or deficiencies that may require future classification as special mention or substandard. Special mention loans possess potentialhave weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects or the Bank's credit position at some future date. It is a transitional grade that is closely monitored for improvement or deterioration.

close attention but do not expose
The Substandard rating is applied to loans where the Bank toborrower exhibits well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize its continued performance and are of a degree of riskseverity that warrants substandard classification. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if certain deficienciesof default exists. Loans are placed on “non-accrual” when management does not corrected. expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment.
Doubtful loans are those havinghave all the weaknesses inherent to those classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting anyconsidered loss are uncollectable and no longer included as an asset.
All loans are analyzed for risk rating updates regularly. For larger loans, rating assessments may be more frequent if relevant information is obtained earlier through debt covenant monitoring or overall relationship management. Smaller loans are monitored as identified by the loan officer based on the risk profile of the criteria previously describedindividual borrower or if the loan becomes past due related to credit issues. Loans rated Watch, Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful are considered satisfactory. subject to quarterly review and monitoring processes. In addition to the regular monitoring performed by the lending personnel and credit committees, loans are subject to review by the credit review department, which verifies the appropriateness of the risk ratings for the loans chosen as part of its risk-based review plan.
The following tables present a summary of loans by risk category and past due status separated by origination and loan class as of March 31, 2021. The March 31, 2021 table was prepared using the CECL methodology and includes $91.9 million in FDIC-assisted acquired loans are evaluated usingincluded in the loan class categories. The remaining accretable discount of $1.3 million has not been included in this internal grading system. These loans are accounted for in pools. Minimal adverse classification in these acquired loan pools was identified as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.table. See Note 7for further discussion of the FDIC-acquired loans and related discount. The December 31, 2020 table was prepared using the previous GAAP incurred loss methodology prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13. The $98.6 million in FDIC-assisted acquired loan pools and the termination of the loss sharing agreements.
The Company evaluatesloans are shown as a total, not within the loan risk internal grading system definitions and allowance for loan loss methodology on an ongoing basis. The general component of the allowance for loan losses is affected by several factors, including, but not limited to, average historical losses, average life of the loans, current composition of the loan portfolio, current and expected economic conditions, collateral values and internal risk ratings. Management considers all these factors in determining the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. In early 2018, we expanded our loan risk rating system to allow for further segregation of satisfactory credits. No significant changes were made to the allowance for loan loss methodology during the year ended December 31, 2019 or the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, the deterioration of economic conditions that occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and was expected to continue thereafter was a significant factor in the determination of the allowance for loan losses.class categories.

Fair Value and Expected Cash Flows. At the time of these acquisitions, the Company determined the fair value of the loan portfolios based on several assumptions. Factors considered in the valuations were projected cash flows for the loans, type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan, current discount rates and whether or not the loan was amortizing. Loans were grouped together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. Management also estimated the amount of credit losses that were expected to be realized for the loan portfolios. The discounted cash flow approach was used to value each pool of loans. For non-performing loans, fair value was estimated by calculating the present value of the recoverable cash flows using a discount rate based on comparable corporate bond rates.
The amount of the estimated cash flows expected to be received from the acquired loan pools in excess of the fair values recorded for the loan pools is referred to as the accretable yield. The accretable yield is recognized as interest income over the estimated lives of the loans. The Company continues to evaluate the fair value of the loans including cash flows expected to be collected. Increases in the Company’s cash flow expectations are recognized as increases to the accretable yield while decreases are recognized as impairments through the allowance for loan losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, improvements in expected cash flows (reclassification of discounts from non-accretable to accretable) related to the acquired loan portfolios resulted in adjustments of $0 and $5.1 million, respectively, to the accretable yield to be spread over the estimated remaining lives of the loans on a level-yield basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, improvements in expected cash flows (reclassification of discounts from non-accretable to accretable) related to the acquired loan portfolios resulted in adjustments of $0 and $10.4 million, respectively, to the accretable yield to be spread over the estimated remaining lives of the loans on a level-yield basis.
Because the balance of these adjustments to accretable yield will be recognized generally over the remaining lives of the loan pools, they will impact future periods as well. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the remaining accretable yield
adjustment that will affect interest income is $2.9$1.3 million. Of the remaining adjustments affecting interest income, we expect to recognize $932,000approximately $900,000 of interest income during the three months ending December 31, 2020.
remainder of 2021. As of January 1, 2021, we adopted the new accounting standard related to accounting for credit losses. With the adoption of this standard, there will be no further reclassification of discounts from non-accretable to accretable. All adjustments made prior to January 1, 2021 will continue to be accreted to interest income.
The impact to income of adjustments on the Company’s financial results is shown below:

Leases.The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach whereby comparative periods were not restated. The Company also elected certain relief options under the ASU, including the option not to recognize right of use asset and lease liabilities that arise
from short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Adoption of this ASU resulted in the Company initially recognizing a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability of $9.5$9.5 million during the three months ended March 31,as of January 1, 2019. The amount of the right of use asset and corresponding lease liability will fluctuate based on the Company’s lease terminations, new leases and lease modifications and renewals. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the lease right toof use asset value was $8.8$8.3 million and the corresponding lease liability was $8.9$8.5 million.
As of December 31, 2020, the lease right of use asset value was $8.5 million and the corresponding lease liability was $8.7 million.
All of our leases are classified as operating leases (as they were prior to January 1, 2019), and therefore were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. With the adoption of ASU 2016-02, these operating leases are now included as a right of use asset in the premises and equipment line item on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The corresponding lease liability is included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities line item on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Because these leases are classified as operating leases, the adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on lease expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
ASU 2016-02 provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the use of the hindsight, a practical expedient which permits the use of information available after lease inception to determine the lease term via the knowledge of renewal options exercised not available as of the lease’s inception. The practical expedient pertaining to land easements is not applicable to the Company.
ASU 2016-02 also requires certain other accounting elections. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning those with terms under twelve months. Right of use assets or lease liabilities are not to be recognized for short-term leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases. The Company’s short-term leases related to offsite ATMs have both fixed and variable lease payment components, based on the number of transactions at the various ATMs. The variable portion of these lease payments is not material and the total lease expense related to ATMs for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $66,000 and 2019 was $76,000 and $71,000,$62,000, respectively. The total lease expense related to ATMs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $202,000 and $221,000, respectively.
25
The calculated amounts of the right of use assets and lease liabilities in the table below are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew the extended term in the calculation of the right of use asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, the ASU requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the right of use asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, the ASU requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception over a similar term. The discount rate utilized was the FHLBank borrowing rate for the term corresponding to the expected term of the lease. The remaining expected lease terms range from 2.80.5 years to 18.417.7 years with a weighted-average lease term of 9.58.0 years. The weighted-average discount rate was 3.24%.

The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (reverse repurchase agreements). Reverse repurchase agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the statements of financial condition. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts. Securities underlying the agreements are being held by the Bank during the agreement period. All agreements are written on a term of one month or less.
At December 31, 2019, other interest-bearing liabilities consisted of cash collateral held by the Company to satisfy minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative dealer counterparties representing the termination value of derivatives, which at such time were in a net asset position. Under the collateral agreements between the parties, either party may choose to provide cash or securities to satisfy its collateral requirements. Effective March 2, 2020, the Company and its swap counterparty mutually agreed to terminate the Company’s interest rate swap eliminating the cash collateral held. For additional information, see “Cash Flow Hedges” in Note 16.
The following table represents the Company’s securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements, by collateral type and remaining contractual maturity.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have not been audited recently by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), except as described here. The Company, through one of its subsidiaries, is a partner in two partnerships which were under IRS examination for 2006 and 2007. As a result, the Company’s 2006 and subsequent tax years remained open for examination. The examinations of these partnerships were completed during 2019. The completion of these examinations did not result in significant changes to the Company’s tax positions.. As a result, federal tax years through December 31, 20152016 are now closed.
The Company is currently under State of Missouri income and franchise tax examinations for its 2014 and 2015 tax years. The Company does not currently expect significant adjustments to its financial statements from thisthese state examination.examinations.
NOTE 15: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
● | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
● | Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for securities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
● | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect assumptions of a source independent of the reporting entity or the reporting entity’s own assumptions that are supported by little or no market activity or observable inputs. |
28
·Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
·Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for securities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect assumptions of a source independent of the reporting entity or the reporting entity's own assumptions that are supported by little or no market activity or observable inputs.
Financial instruments are broken down by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, due to an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
��
The Company considers transfers between the levels of the hierarchy to be recognized at the end of related reporting periods. From December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020, no assets for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis transferred between any levels of the hierarchy.
Recurring Measurements
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fell at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019: 2020:

The following is a description of inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.
Available-for-Sale Securities. Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which represent either quoted market prices for the identical asset or fair values determined by pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques, that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems. Recurring Level 2 securities include U.S.
government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal bonds and certain other investments. Inputs used for valuing Level 2 securities include observable data that may include dealer quotes, benchmark yields, market spreads, live trading levels and market consensus prepayment speeds, among other things. Additional inputs include indicative values derived from the independent pricing service’s proprietary computerized models. There were no0 recurring Level 3 securities at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2019.2020.
Interest Rate Derivatives. The fair value is estimated using forward-looking interest rate curves and is determined using observable market rates and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.
Loans Held for Sale.Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies mortgage loans held for sale as Nonrecurring Level 2. Write-downs to fair value typically do not occur as the Company generally enters into commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at the time the loan is originated to reduce market risk. The Company typically does not have commercial loans held for sale. At September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the aggregate fair value of mortgage loans held for sale exceeded their cost. Accordingly, no mortgage loans held for sale were marked down and reported at fair value.
Impaired Loans. ALoans. Prior to January 1, 2021, a loan iswas considered to be impaired when it iswas probable that all of the principal and interest due may not be collected according to its contractual terms. Generally, when a loan iswas considered impaired, the amount of reserve required under FASB ASC 310, Receivables, iswas measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company makesmade such measurements on all material loans deemed impaired using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The fair value of collateral used by the Company iswas determined by obtaining an observable market price or by obtaining an appraised value from an independent, licensed or certified appraiser, using observable market data. This data includesincluded information such as selling price of similar properties and capitalization rates of similar properties sold within the market, expected future cash flows or earnings of the
subject property based on current market expectations, and other relevant factors. All appraised values arewere adjusted for market-related trends based on the Company’s experience in sales and other appraisals of similar property types as well as estimated selling costs. Each quarter, management reviewsreviewed all collateral dependent impaired loans on a loan-by-loan basis to determine whether updated appraisals arewere necessary based on loan performance, collateral type and guarantor support. At times, the Company measuresmeasured the fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans using appraisals with dates more than one year prior to the date of review. These appraisals arewere discounted by applying current, observable market data about similar property types such as sales contracts, estimations of value by individuals familiar with the market, other appraisals, sales or collateral assessments based on current market activity until updated appraisals are obtained. Depending on the length of time since an appraisal was performed and the data provided through our reviews, these appraisals arewere typically discounted 10-40%. The policy described above iswas the same for all types of collateral dependent impaired loans.
Subsequent to December 31, 2020, these loans are no longer considered impaired.
The Company records impairedcollateral-dependent loans as Nonrecurring Level 3. If a loan’s fair value as estimated by the Company is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes a reserve within the allowance for loancredit losses specific to the loan. Loans for which such charge-offs or reserves were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, are shown in the table above (net of reserves).
30
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale. Foreclosed assets held for sale are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The foreclosed assets represented in the table above have been re-measured during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, subsequent to their initial transfer to foreclosed assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition at amounts other than fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Loans and Interest Receivable. The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating contractual cash flows, prepayments, discount spreads, credit losses and liquidity premiums. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposits and Accrued Interest Payable. The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e., their carrying amounts. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated through a discounted cash flow calculation using the average advances yield curve from 11 districts of the FHLB for the as of date. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Short-Term Borrowings. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Subordinated Debentures Issued to Capital Trusts. The subordinated debentures have floating rates that reset quarterly. The carrying amount of these debentures approximates their fair value.
Subordinated Notes. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from independent sources and are derived from quoted market prices of the Company’s subordinated notes and quoted market prices of other subordinated debt instruments with similar characteristics.
Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit. The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of
letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the statements of financial condition. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which method involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the
31
Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

NOTE 16: DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities. In the normal course of business, the Company may use derivative financial instruments (primarily interest rate swaps) from time to time to assist in its interest rate risk management. The Company has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying loan customers that are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities and are not designated in a qualifying hedging relationship. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. In addition, the Company has interest rate derivatives that are designated in a qualified hedging relationship.
Nondesignated Hedges
The Company has interest rate swaps that are not designated as qualifying hedging relationships. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain loan customers, which the Company began offering during 2011. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.
As part of the Valley Bank FDIC-assisted acquisition, the Company acquired seven7 loans with related interest rate swaps. Valley’s swap program differed from the Company’s in that Valley did not have back to back swaps with the customer and a counterparty. FiveNaN of the seven7 acquired loans with interest rate swaps have paid off. The aggregate notional amount of the two2 remaining Valley swaps was $609,000$559,000 at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, excluding the Valley Bank swaps, the Company had 1918 interest rate swaps totaling $115.6$139.3 million in notional amount with commercial customers, and 1918 interest rate swaps with the same aggregate notional
32
amount with third parties related to its program. In addition, the Company has four4 participation loans purchased totaling $27.8$27.6 million, in which the lead institution has an interest rate swap with its customer and the economics of the counterparty swap are passed along to the Company through the loan participation. At December 31, 2019,2020, excluding the Valley Bank swaps, the Company had 19 interest rate swaps totaling $96.0$142.8 million in notional amount with commercial customers, and 19 interest rate swaps with the same notional amount with third parties related to its program. During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized net gains of $89,000$474,000 and net losses of $101,000, respectively, in noninterest income related to changes in the fair value of these swaps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized net losses of $424,000 and $169,000,$407,000, respectively, in noninterest income related to changes in the fair value of these swaps.
Cash Flow Hedges
Interest Rate Swap. As a strategy to maintain acceptable levels of exposure to the risk of changes in future cash flows due to interest rate fluctuations, in October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $400 million with a termination date of October 6, 2025. Under the terms of the swap, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 3.018% and paid a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-LIBOR. The floating rate reset monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occurred monthly. To the extent that the fixed rate of interest exceeded one-month USD-LIBOR, the Company received net interest settlements which were recorded as loan interest income. If USD-LIBOR exceeded the fixed rate of interest in future periods, the Company was required to pay net settlements to the counterparty and recorded those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. The Company recorded loan interest income of $2.0 million and $801,000$1.6 million on this interest rate swap during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded loan interest income of $5.6 million and $1.9 million on this interest rate swap during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affected earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized no0 noninterest income related to changes in the fair value of this derivative.
On March 2, 2020, the Company and its swap counterparty mutually agreed to terminate the swap, effective immediately.on that date. The Company received a payment of $45.9 million, including accrued but unpaid interest, from its swap counterparty as a result of this termination. This $45.9 million, less the accrued interest portion and net of deferred income taxes, iswas reflected in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and a portion of it is being accreted to interest income on loans monthly through the original contractual termination date of October 6, 2025. This will havehas the effect of reducing Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and increasing Net Interest Income and Retained Earnings over the period. In each quarterly period, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2020, until the original contract termination date, the Company expects
to record loan interest income related to this swap transaction of approximately $2.0 million, based on the termination value of the swap. The Company currently expects to have an amount of eligible variable rate loans to continue to accrete this interest income in future periods. If this expectation changes and the amount of eligible variable rate loans decreases significantly, the Company may be required to recognize this interest income more rapidly.

Agreements with Derivative Counterparties
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties. If the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. Similarly, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under certain of its agreements if certain regulatory events occurred, such as the issuance of a formal directive, or if the Company’s credit rating is downgraded below a specified level.
34
At March 31, 2021, the termination value of derivatives with our derivative dealer counterparties (related to loan level swaps with commercial lending customers) in an overall net asset position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $375,000. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative dealer counterparties. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s activity with one of its derivative counterparties met the level at which the minimum collateral posting thresholds take effect (collateral to be given by the Company) and the Company had posted collateral totaling $1.5 million to the derivative counterparties to satisfy the loan level agreements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-looking Statements
When used in this Quarterly Report and in other documents filed or furnished by Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"“SEC”), in the Company'sCompany’s press releases or other public or stockholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” "will“will likely result," "are” “are expected to," "will” “will continue," "is” “is anticipated,"” “believe,” "estimate," "project," "intends"“estimate,” “project,” “intends” or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements"“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of announced transactions, known trends and statements about future performance, operations, products and services of the Company. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effects of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The novel coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, pandemic is adversely affecting the Company, its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, including further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to, COVID-19, could affect the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways.
Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) expected revenues, cost savings, earnings accretion, synergies and other benefits from the Company'sCompany’s merger and acquisition activities might not be realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (ii) changes in economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company'sCompany’s market areas; (iii) fluctuations in interest rates; (iv) the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loancredit losses; (v) the possibility of other-than-temporary impairments of securities held in the Company'sCompany’s securities portfolio; (vi) the Company'sCompany’s ability to access cost-effective funding; (vii) fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; (viii) the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers'customers’ needs and developments in the marketplace; (ix) the possibility that security measures implemented might not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack or cyber theft, and that such security measures might not protect against systems failures or interruptions; (x) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s business, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and its implementing regulations, the overdraft protection regulations and customers'customers’ responses thereto and the Tax Cut and Jobs Act; (xi) changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, including Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326), “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” commonly referenced as the Current Expected Credit Loss model, which, upon adoption, is expected to result in an increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses;standards; (xii) monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Government and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry; (xiii) results of examinations of the Company and Great Southern Bank by their regulators, including the possibility that the regulators may, among other things, require the Company to limit its business activities, change its business mix, increase its allowance for loancredit losses, write-down assets or increase its capital levels, or affect its ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect its liquidity and earnings; (xiv) costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; (xv) competition; (xvi) uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR; and (xvii) natural disasters, war, terrorist activities or civil unrest and their effects on economic and business environments in which the Company operates. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above and other risks described from time to time in documents filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC could affect the Company'sCompany’s financial performance and could cause the Company'sCompany’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.
The Company does not undertake-and specifically declines any obligation- to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
36
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for LoanCredit Losses and Valuation of Foreclosed Assets
The Company believes that the determination of the allowance for loancredit losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loancredit losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining an allowance level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated loancredit losses. Management's determinationThe allowance for credit losses is measured using an average historical loss model which incorporates relevant information about past events (including historical credit loss experience on loans with similar risk characteristics), current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the adequacyremaining cash flows over the contractual term of the loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis. Loans are aggregated into pools based on periodic evaluationssimilar risk characteristics including borrower type, collateral and repayment types and expected credit loss patterns. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, primarily classified and/or TDR loans with a balance greater than or equal to $100,000 which are classified or restructured troubled debt, are evaluated on an individual basis.
For loans evaluated for credit losses on a collective basis, average historical loss rates are calculated for each pool using the Company’s historical net charge-offs (combined charge-offs and recoveries by observable historical reporting period) and outstanding loan balances during a lookback period. Lookback periods can be different based on the individual pool and represent management’s credit expectations for the pool of loans over the remaining contractual life. In certain loan pools, if the Company’s own historical loss rate is not reflective of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates of, among other things, expected default probabilities, loss once loans default, expected commitment usage,expectations, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, value of collateral, estimated losses, and general amounts for historical loss experience.
rate is augmented by industry and peer data. The process alsocalculated average net charge-off rate is then adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These adjustments increase or decrease the average historical loss rate to reflect expectations of future losses given economic forecasts of key macroeconomic variables including, but not limited to, unemployment rate, GDP, disposable income and market volatility. The adjustments are based on results from various regression models projecting the impact of the macroeconomic variables to loss rates. The forecast is used for a reasonable and supportable period before reverting back to historical averages using a straight-line method. The forecast adjusted loss rate is applied to the amortized cost of loans over the remaining contractual lives, adjusted for expected prepayments. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless there is a reasonable expectation that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed. Additionally, the allowance for credit losses considers economic conditions, uncertaintiesother qualitative factors not included in estimating losses and inherent riskshistorical loss rates or macroeconomic forecast such as changes in the loan portfolio. All of these factors may be susceptible toportfolio composition, underwriting practices, or significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required which would adversely impact earnings in future periods. In addition, the Bank’s regulators could require additional provisions for loan losses as part of their examination process.
unique events or conditions.
See Note 6 “Loans and Allowance for LoanCredit Losses” included in Item 1 for additional information regarding the allowance for loancredit losses. Inherent in this process is the evaluation of individual significant credit relationships. From time to time certain credit relationships may deteriorate due to payment performance, cash flow of the borrower, value of collateral, or other factors. In these instances, management may revise its loss estimates and assumptions for these specific credits due to changing circumstances. In some cases, additional losses may be realized; in other instances, the factors that led to the deterioration may improve or the credit may be refinanced elsewhere and allocated allowances may be released from the particular credit. The Company uses a three-year average of historical losses for the general component of the allowance for loan loss calculation. No significantSignificant changes were made to management'smanagement’s overall methodology for evaluating the allowance for loancredit losses during the periods presented in the financial statements of this report.report due to the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the new accounting standard related to the Allowance for Credit Losses. For assets held at amortized cost basis, this standard eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. See Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements for additional information.
In addition, the Company considers that the determination of the valuations of foreclosed assets held for sale involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The carrying value of foreclosed assets reflects management’s best estimate of the amount to be realized from the sales of the assets. While the estimate is generally based on a valuation by an independent appraiser or recent sales of similar properties, the amount that the Company realizes from the sales of the assets could differ materially from the carrying value reflected in the financial statements, resulting in losses that could adversely impact earnings in future periods.
37
Carrying Value of Loans Acquired in FDIC-Assisted Transactions
The Company considers that the determination of the carrying value of loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transactions involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The carrying value of the acquired loans reflects management’s best ongoing estimates of the amounts to be realized on these assets. The Company determined initial fair value accounting estimates of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. However, the amount that the Company realizes on its acquired loan assets could differ
materially from the carrying value reflected in its financial statements, based upon the timing of collections on the acquired loans in future periods. Because of the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC on certain of these assets, the Company did not expect to incur any significant losses related to these assets. Subsequent to the initial valuation, the Company continued to monitor identified loan pools for changes in estimated cash flows projected for the loan pools, anticipated credit losses and changes in the accretable yield. Analysis of these variables requires significant estimates and a high degree of judgment. See Note 7 “FDIC-Assisted Acquired Loans” included in Item 1 for additional information regarding the TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank, InterBank and Valley Bank FDIC-assisted transactions.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are subject to an impairment test at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a process that estimates the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units compared with its carrying value. The Company defines reporting units as a level below each of its operating segments for which there is discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had one reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated – the Bank. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no impairment is recorded. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, further testing is completed comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Intangible assets that are not amortized mustwill be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair values of those assets to their carrying values. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, goodwill consisted of $5.4 million at the Bank reporting unit, which included goodwill of $4.2 million that was recorded during 2016 related to the acquisition of 12 branches from Fifth Third Bank.and related deposits in the St. Louis, Mo., market. Other identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of seven years. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the amortizable intangible assets consisted of core deposit intangibles of $1.8$1.3 million, which are reflected in the table below. These amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable based on a comparison of fair value.

Current Economic Conditions
Changes in economic conditions could cause the valuevalues of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements to change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loancredit losses, or capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.
Following the housing and mortgage crisis and correction beginning in mid-2007, the United States entered an economic downturn. Unemployment rose from 4.7% in November 2007 to peak at 10.0% in October 2009. Since that time, economicEconomic conditions improved considerably,in the following years, as indicated by higher consumer confidence levels, increased economic activity and low unemployment levels. The U.S. economy continued to operate at historically strong levels until the impact of the COVID-19 pandemicbegan to take its toll in March 2020. While U.S. economic trends have rebounded, the severity and extent of the COVID-19 pandemiccoronavirus on the global, national and regional economies is still uncertain.
The economy plunged into recession during the first quarter of 2020. Efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus forced all but essential business activity, or any work that could not be done from home, to stop, shuttering factories, restaurants, entertainment and sports events, retail shops, personal services, and more.

More than 22 million jobs were lost in March and April of 2020, as firms closed their doors or reduced their operations, sending employees home on furlough or layoffs. Hunkered down at home with uncertain it will most likelyincomes and limited buying opportunities, consumer spending plummeted. As a result, gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of the nation’s economic output, plunged. Since that time, improvements in consumer spending, the GDP and employment have occurred. The CARES Act, a temporary detrimental impactfiscal relief bill passed by Congress in March 2020, injected about $3 trillion into the economy through direct payments to individuals and grants to small businesses that would keep employees on their payrolls, fueling a historic bounce-back in economic activity.
Also, as the performancecrisis unfolded, the Federal Reserve acted decisively, employing a wide arsenal of our loan portfolio. Short-term modifications on loan termstools including slashing its benchmark interest rate to zero and ensuring credit availability to businesses, households, and municipal governments. The Fed’s efforts have insulated the financial system from the problems in the economy, a significant difference than the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008. The Federal Reserve continues to maintain a highly accommodative monetary policy by maintaining short-term rates firmly at the zero lower bound and purchasing Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities to keep long-term interest rates down. With consumer interest rates at record lows and with 30-year fixed-rate mortgages below 3%, the housing market has boomed. Home sales have been above their pre-pandemic levels, and construction activity has picked up in response.
The Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing is expected to begin tapering in early 2022, while the zero-interest-rate policy is expected to remain in place until the economy is near full employment and inflation is firmly above the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target, which is not expected until early 2023.
To help our customers navigate through the current pandemic situation, we offered and supplied PPP loans and short-term modifications to loan terms. PPP loans and modifications were made in accordance with guidance from the banking regulatory authorities. These modifications didwere not result in these loans being classified as troubled debt restructurings, potential problem loans or non-performing loans. More severely impacted industries in our loan portfolio includeincluded retail, motel/hotel and restaurants.
While the U.S. economic recovery began with a robust rebound in mid to late 2020 from the pandemic-induced recession, challenges remain with millions still out of work and many businesses still closed or operating under reduced hours or capacity. Vaccine distribution has enabled an easing of capacity and social distancing restrictions; however, COVID variants and the impact of ability of global and localized ability to control the virus are still variables.
AsEarly in 2021, the “American Rescue Plan”, an economic relief fiscal measure of September 2020,approximately $1.9 trillion with an emphasis on vaccination, individual and small business relief, was passed. Later in 2021, the “Build Back Better” recovery package is expected to be pursued with an emphasis on infrastructure, research and development, education and green energy transition. Funding is expected to come at least partially from corporate tax changes and tax increases on wealthy individuals.

Nearly two-thirds of the increase was in food services and drinking places (176 million). Employment also increased in both public and private education, reflecting the continued resumption of in-person learning and other school-related activities in many parts of the country, as well as in the construction sector; however, the employment rates in these industries are still below the February 2020 levels. The number of unemployed persons at 9.7 million continued to trend down in March 2020 but is 4.0 million higher than February 2020.
In March 2021, the U.S. labor force participation rate (the share of working-age Americans employed or actively looking for a job) was 1.8 percentage points lower, at 61.5% than in February 2020 pre-COVID levels.

As of the end of September 2020,March 31, 2021, national apartment vacancy rates stoodhad recovered to pre-COVID levels at 6.4% compared to 6.2% as of December 2019. Our market areas reflected the following vacancy levels as of March 31, 2021: Springfield, Mo. at 2.9%, St. Louis at 8.4%, Kansas City at 8.3%, Minneapolis at 7.2%, Tulsa, Okla. at 6.8%, Dallas-Fort Worth at 8.5%, Chicago at 7.8%, Atlanta at 7.7%, and Denver at 7.0%.
Even before the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend of slowing growth in the office industry was expected to continue in 2020 and linger through 2021. The office demand losses that characterized much of last year have carried into 2021. Office-using employment remained nearly one million jobs lower than the peak level from the first quarter of 2020. Absorption posted its worst quarter on record as tenants continue to downsize and adopt hybrid work models. While office-using job sectors have shown resilience, the office sector has about 800,000 fewer office jobs than the peak at the start of 2020. The current baseline forecast shows a steady, moderate acceleration with office-using job totals surpassing the prior peak by the end of this year; however, overall projected job growth may no longer closely correlate to office demand.
At March 31, 2021, national office vacancy rates had increased slightly to 12.1% while our market areas reflected the following vacancy levels: Springfield, Mo. at 4.6%3.2%, St. Louis at 8.9%8.2%, Kansas City at 7.9%9.2%, Minneapolis at 6.2%9.4%, Tulsa, Okla. at 7.3%11.8%, Dallas-Fort Worth at 8.4%18.0%, Chicago at 8.0%14.0%, Atlanta at 8.7%13.8% and Denver at 7.7%13.7%.

Retail sales activity surged in the first quarter of 2021, as focus on coordinated vaccine distribution and supporting strong consumer confidence bolstered leasing activity and overall economic growth. While e-commerce continues to expand, consumers have continued to visit physical stores for both their basic needs and discretionary purchases. Pockets of strength in the retail industry include discounters such as Dollar General, Dollar Tree, TJ Maxx, and Ross Dress for Less; general merchandisers such as Target and Walmart; pharmacies such as Walgreens; pet stores; and home improvement/tool retailers.
Commercial Real Estate Other Than HousingWhile these essential-oriented tenant types remain a positive source of demand, several areas of the retail sector remain under financial strain. Ongoing capacity restraints for service-oriented retailers such as restaurants, together with reduced foot traffic for various indoor malls and retailer, continues to contribute to both bankruptcies and store closure announcements particularly concentrated throughout the restaurant, apparel and department store subtypes. High-quality properties with strong tenant mixes and essential-oriented anchors, in central location and growing demographics continue to trade.
At March 31, 2021, national retail vacancy rates stayed the same at 5.1% while our market areas reflected the following vacancy levels: Springfield, Mo. at 3.7%, St. Louis at 4.9%, Kansas City at 5.7%, Minneapolis at 3.7%, Tulsa, Okla. at 3.7%, Dallas-Fort Worth at 6.2%, Chicago at 6.1%, Atlanta at 5.4% and Denver at 5.3%.
The full impact of the coronavirus outbreakunprecedented rise in online shopping and quick delivery demands brought on the U.S. Office sector remains unclear, but per CoStar, demand for office space declined steeply in the third quarter, tripling the losses posted in the second quarter. As the pandemic continues to flare in areas, many companies have extended work from home protocols till mid-2021. Co-Star’s baseline forecast calls for office-using employment totals to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022, and continue to moderately accelerate from there. Annual rent growth has been slowing over the past several quarters and was flat in the third quarter. Even before the disruption caused by the pandemic the trend of slowing growth was expectedhave propelled industrial demand to continueall-time highs.
Leasing activity in 2020 and lingering through 2021.
The retail sector of commercial real estate remains one of the most vulnerable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gradual store re-openings throughout the nation and the relaxation of social distancing restrictions has modestly lifted consumer confidence and given hope for stabilization in the industry throughout the remainder of 2020. However, increasing infection rates throughout many mid-western and Southern states threat the continued path to stability producing additional certainty for retailers already struggling with reduced revenues and limited liquidity. Decline in sales of soft-good department stores, retail shops and restaurants, those believed to be the most hurt by the pandemic, will affect malls, strip centers and outlet centers by subsequent increase in vacancies. The wave of retail bankruptcies is expected to continue; however, tenants with essential-oriented offerings have thus far weathered the storm and arisen as a modest source of positive demand.
Though the industrial sector may fare best among commercial real estate sectors, its operating fundamentals will not fully escapeimproved throughout the negative impactsfirst quarter of the COVID-19 recession. Dampened aggregate demand2021, primarily led by commitments from Amazon, power-grocers Walmart and reduced export growth along with disruptedTarget, smaller healthcare and curtailedmedical-oriented supply chains present a headwind for port marketscompanies, food and industrial distribution operators. Meanwhile, labor shortages arising from mandatory construction suspensions place further pressure on industrial operators, distributorsbeverage producers and manufacturers. Negative factors in
Strong demand from a wide variety of business types and segments was enough to offset new supply and decrease vacancy rates. Persistent demand from e-commerce and third-party logistics (3PLs) companies continues to drive demand. Investors continue to aggressively pursue industrial acquisitions.
At March 31, 2021, national industrial vacancy rates decreased slightly to 5.5% while our market areas reflected the industry are countered somewhat with the increased activity of large tenant groups including Amazon, third party logistics providersfollowing vacancy levels: Springfield, Mo. at 2.1%, St. Louis at 4.6%, Kansas City at 5.2%, Minneapolis at 4.0%, Tulsa, Okla. at 3.9%, Dallas-Fort Worth at 6.9%, Chicago at 6.2%, Atlanta at 4.7% and larger retailers. Denver at 6.9%.
Under CoStar’s base case forecast, the moderation in demand, taking into consideration a considerable development pipeline, may result in a vacancy rate in the mid 6% range, which is still well below the peak of 10.6% reached during the Great Recession.
The degree to which the commercial real estate sector suffers is yet unknown, as the path and progression of the pandemic, and the economy's response to such measures taken remains fluid. In addition to forced and voluntary store closures, many retailers will struggle amid near-total loss of foot traffic, declining consumer sentiment, lost wages and restrained consumer spending activity.
Our management will continue to monitor regional, national, and global economic indicators such as unemployment, GDP, housing starts and prices, commercial real estate occupancy, absorption and rental rates, as these could significantly affect customers in each of our market areas.

Impacts to Our Business Going Forward: The magnitude of the impact on the Company of the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet fully known,continues to evolve, and will ultimately depend on the remaining length and severity of the economic downturn brought on by the pandemic. Some positive economic signs have occurred in 2021, such as lower unemployment rates, improving gross domestic product (“GDP”) levels and other measures of the economy and increased vaccination rates. The Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue tocould still impact our business in future periods in one or more of the following ways, among others. Each of these factors could, individually or collectively, result in reduced net income in future periods.
● | Consistently low market interest rates for a significant period of time may have a negative impact on our variable rate loans, resulting in reduced net interest income |
● | Certain fees for deposit and loan products may be waived or reduced |
● | Non-interest expenses may increase as we continue to deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including cleaning costs, supplies, equipment and other items |
● | Banking center lobbies have been closed at various times, and may close again in future periods if the pandemic situation worsens again |
● | Additional loan modifications may occur and borrowers may default on their loans, which may necessitate further increases to the allowance for credit losses |
● | A contraction in economic activity may reduce demand for our loans and for our other products and services |
·Significantly lower market interest rates will have a negative impact on our variable rate loans indexed to LIBOR and prime
·Certain fees for deposit and loan products may be waived or reduced
·Point-of-sale fee income may decline due to a decrease in spending by our debit card customers as they deal with state and local government requirements and other restrictions and may be adversely affected by reductions in their personal income and job losses
·Non-interest expenses may increase as we continue to deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including cleaning costs, supplies, equipment and other items
·Banking center lobbies are open, but could be closed again if the pandemic situation worsens

Paycheck Protection Program Loans
Great Southern is actively participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) through the Small Business Administration (SBA). The PPP has been met with very high demand throughout the country, resulting in a second round of funding through an amendment to the CARES Act. AsIn the earlier round of September 30, 2020,the PPP, we originated approximately 1,600 PPP loans totaling approximately $121 million. As of May 5, 2021, full forgiveness proceeds have been received from the SBA for 1,249 of these PPP loans totaling approximately $73 million.
On December 27, 2020, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act authorized the reopening of the PPP for eligible first-draw and second-draw borrowers which began on January 19, 2021, and had an original expiration date of March 31, 2021. On March 30, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was signed, extending the PPP an additional two months to May 31, 2021, and providing an additional 30-day period for the SBA to process applications that are still pending. Since the reopening period began in January 2021, the Company has funded 1,574 loans totaling approximately $56 million.
Great Southern has received $4.7 million inreceives fees from the SBA for originating thesePPP loans based on the amount of each loan. At March 31, 2021, remaining net deferred fees related to PPP loans totaled $3.9 million. The fees, net of origination costs, will beare deferred in accordance with standard accounting practices and will be accreted to interest income on loans over the contractual life of each loan. These loans originated in 2020 generally have a contractual maturity of two years from origination date and those originated in 2021 generally have a contractual maturity of five years from the origination date, but may be repaid or forgiven (by the SBA) sooner. If these loans are repaid or forgiven prior to their contractual maturity date, the remaining deferred fee for such loan will be accreted to interest income on loans immediately. We expect a high percentageportion of these remaining net deferred fees will accrete to interest income in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the firstsecond quarter of 2021. In the three months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Great Southern recorded approximately $440,000$1.2 million of these net deferred fees in interest income on loans.
Loan Modifications
At September 30, 2020, weMarch 31, 2021, the Company had remaining 8819 modified commercial loans with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $379$141 million and 40792 modified consumer and mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $17$5 million. These balances have decreased from $233 million and $18 million, respectively, for these loan categories at December 31, 2020. The loan modifications are within the guidance provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic SecurityCARES Act, (CARES Act), the federal banking regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB); therefore, they are not considered troubled debt restructurings or classified assets for regulatory purposes.TDRs. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the largest total modified loans by collateral type were in the following categories (dollars in millions):categories: hotel/motel - $69 million; healthcare - $28 million; retail - $22 million; multifamily - $11 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, loans with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $602 million completed the modification period and returned to their normal payment schedule. Of the loans modified at June 30, 2020, $55.8 million in payments were received on these loans during the three months ended September 30, 2020. A portion of the loans modified at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021, may be further modified, and new loans may be modified, within the guidance provided by the CARES Act (and subsequent legislation enacted in December 2020), the federal banking regulatory agencies, the SEC and the FASB if a more severe or lengthier deterioration in economic conditions occurs in future periods.

The Company has escalated monitoring activities related to the modified loans and has also increased review and monitoring activities for certain sectors of the loan portfolio which may be currently most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The retail portfolio had an outstanding balance of $388 million at September 30, 2020, which was 11% of the total loan portfolio. It is a very granular portfolio, with an average loan size of $1.6 million. Most loans are under $5 million, with 28% of the outstanding balance of the retail portfolio represented by loans in excess of $10 million. At September 30, 2020, the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of this portfolio was 61%.
The hotel/motel portfolio had an outstanding balance of $196 million at September 30, 2020, which was 5% of the total loan portfolio. The average loan size is $4.3 million, with the 20 largest loans comprising approximately 90% of the portfolio. These properties are well-diversified geographically, mainly throughout the Midwest, with most being limited-service properties. Approximately 92% of the portfolio operates under the flag of major hotel chains. At September 30, 2020, the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of this portfolio was 56%.
The restaurant portfolio had an outstanding balance of $72 million at September 30, 2020, which was 2% of the total loan portfolio. It is a very granular portfolio, with the majority of the restaurants operating in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. The majority of these loans are to franchisees of top-tier quick service brands with national scale that have had the ability to stay open with delivery and drive-through service throughout the course of the pandemic. At September 30, 2020, the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of this portfolio was 59%.
Total loans outstanding (excluding FDIC-assisted acquired loans, net of discount) in the following categories at September 30, 2020, were as follows (dollars in millions):

General
The profitability of the Company and, more specifically, the profitability of its primary subsidiary, the Bank, depend primarily on net interest income, as well as provisions for loancredit losses and the level of non-interest income and non-interest expense. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income the Bank earns on its loans and investment portfolios, and the interest it pays on interest-bearing liabilities, which consists mainly of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on these balances. When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income.
Great Southern'sSouthern’s total assets increased $427.9$77.4 million, or 8.5%1.4%, from $5.02$5.53 billion at December 31, 2019,2020, to $5.44$5.60 billion at September 30, 2020. Full detailsMarch 31, 2021. Details of the current period changes in total assets are provided in the “Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019”2020” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Loans.Net outstanding loans increased $259.8decreased $11.1 million, or 6.3%0.3%, from $4.15$4.30 billion at December 31, 2019,2020, to $4.41$4.29 billion at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. The net increasedecrease in loans reflects reductions of $21.1$6.7 million in the FDIC-assisted acquired loan portfolios. This increasedecrease was primarily in construction loans, home equity lines of credit, and consumer auto loans. This decrease was offset by increases in other residential (multi-family) loans commercial business loans, one- to four-family residential loans and commercial real estate loans. Approximately 61% of the one- to- four-family residential loan originations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were refinanced loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases in construction loans and consumer auto loans. The increases were primarily due to loan growth in our existing banking center network and our commercial loan production offices, and included approximately $121 million of PPP loans. Excluding FDIC-assisted acquired loans and mortgage loans held for sale, total gross loans increased $229.6decreased $2.7 million, or 4.7%0.1%, from December 31, 20192020 to September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. As loan demand is affected by a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, and because of the competition we face and our focus on pricing discipline and credit quality, no assurances can be made regarding our future loan growth. We expect minimal loan growth for the foreseeable future due to deteriorating economic conditionsthe remaining uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company'sCompany’s strategy continues to be focused on maintaining credit risk and interest rate risk at appropriate levels.
Recent loan growth has occurred in several loan types, primarily other residential (multi-family) loans one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and commercial businessreal estate loans and in most of Great Southern’s primary lending locations, including Springfield, St. Louis, Kansas City, Des Moines and Minneapolis, as well as our loan production offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Omaha and Tulsa. Certain minimum underwriting standards and monitoring help assure the Company’s portfolio quality. Great Southern’s loan committee reviews and approves all new loan originations in excess of lender approval authorities. Generally, the Company considers commercial construction, consumer, and commercial real estate loans to involve a higher degree of risk compared to some other types of loans, such as first mortgage loans on one- to four-family, owner-occupied residential properties. For commercial real estate, commercial business and construction loans, the credits are subject to an analysis of the borrower’s and guarantor’s financial condition, credit history, verification of liquid assets, collateral, market analysis and repayment ability. It has been, and continues to be, Great Southern’s practice to verify information from potential borrowers regarding assets, income or payment ability and credit ratings as applicable and as required by the authority approving the loan. To minimize construction risk, projects are monitored as construction draws are requested by comparison to budget and with progress verified through property inspections. The geographic and product diversity of collateral, equity requirements and limitations on speculative construction projects help to mitigate overall risk in these loans. Underwriting standards for all loans also include loan-to-value ratio limitations, which vary depending on collateral type, debt service coverage ratios or debt payment to income ratio guidelines, where applicable, credit histories, use of guaranties and other recommended terms relating to equity requirements, amortization, and maturity. Consumer loans are primarily secured by new and used motor vehicles and these loans are also subject to certain minimum underwriting standards to assure portfolio quality. While Great Southern’s consumer underwriting and pricing standards have been fairly consistent in recent years, the Company tightened its underwriting guidelines on automobile lending beginning in the latter part of 2016. Management took this step in an effort to improve credit quality in the portfolio and reduce delinquencies and charge-offs. The underwriting standards employed by Great Southern for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts, credit scores, employment history and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. In 2019, the Company discontinuedmade the decision to discontinue indirect auto loan originations. See “Item 1. Business – Lending Activities – General, – Commercial Real Estate and Construction Lending, and – Consumer Lending” in the Company’s December 31, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
While our policy allows us to lend up to 95% of the appraised value on one-to four-family residential properties, originations of loans with loan-to-value ratios at that level are minimal. Private mortgage insurance is typically required for loan amounts above the 80% level. Few exceptions occur and would be based on analyses which determined minimal transactional risk to be involved. We consider these lending practices to be consistent with or more conservative than what we believe to be the norm for banks our size. At September 30, 2020 andMarch 31, 2021, 0.1% of the owner occupied portfolio had loan-to-value ratios above 100% at origination, all of which were FDIC-acquired loans. At December 31, 2019,2020, none of our owner occupied one- to four-family residential loans had loan-to-value ratios above 100% at origination. At both September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, an estimated 0.6% of total non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential loans had loan-to-value ratios above 100% at origination.
At September 30, 2020, troubled debt restructuringsMarch 31, 2021, TDRs, including FDIC-acquired loans, totaled $3.7$4.0 million, or 0.09% of total loans, an increase of $689,000 from $3.3 million, or 0.08% of total loans, an increase of $1.8 million from $1.9 million, or 0.05% of total loans, at December 31, 2019.2020. The December 31, 2020 amount excludes $1.7 million of FDIC-acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. Concessions granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties may include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize
43
collection. For troubled debt restructuringsTDRs occurring during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020, six loans totaling $149,000March 31, 2021, none were restructured into multiple new loans. For troubled debt restructuringsTDRs occurring during the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, five loans totaling $34,000$107,000 were restructured into multiple new loans. For further information on troubled debt restructurings,TDRs, see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. In accordance with the CARES Act and guidance from the banking regulatory agencies, we made certain short-term modifications to loan terms to help our customers navigate through the current pandemic situation. Although loan modifications were made, they did not result in these loans being classified as troubled debt restructurings,TDRs, potential problem loans or non-performing loans. As of March 31, 2021, $141 million of commercial loans and $5 million of residential and consumer loans were subject to such modifications. If more severe or lengthier negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic occur or the effects of the SBA loan programs and other loan and stimulus programs do not enable companies and individuals to completely recover financially, this could result in more and/or longer-term modifications, which may be deemed to be troubled debt restructurings,TDRs, additional potential problem loans and/or additional non-performing loans.
Loans that were acquired through FDIC-assisted transactions, which are accounted for in pools, are currently included in the analysis and estimation of the allowance for loan losses. If expected cash flows to be received on any given pool of loans decreases from previous estimates, then a determination is made as to whether the loan pool should be charged down or the allowance for loan losses should be increased (through a provision for loan losses). Acquired loans are described in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. For acquired loan pools, the Company may allocate, and at September 30, 2020, has allocated, a portion of its allowance for loan losses related to these loan pools in a manner similar to how it allocates its allowance for loan losses to those loans which are collectively evaluated for impairment.
The level of non-performing loans and foreclosed assets affects our net interest income and net income. We generally do not accrue interest income on these loans and do not recognize interest income until the loans are repaid or interest payments have been made for a period of time sufficient to provide evidence of performance on the loans. Generally, the higher the level of non-performing assets, the greater the negative impact on interest income and net income.
The Company continues its preparation for discontinuation of interest rates such as LIBOR. LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by the Company, but by far the most significant area impacted by LIBOR is related to commercial and residential mortgage loans. After 2021, certain LIBOR rates may no longer be published and it is expected to eventually be discontinued as a reference rate. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons.
The Company has been monitoring its portfolio of loans tied to LIBOR on a regular frequency since 2019, with specific groups of loans identified. The Company implemented robust LIBOR fallback language for all commercial loan transactions beginning near the end of 2018, with such language implemented with all new originations and renewed/modified commercial loans since that time. The Company is particularly monitoring the remaining group of loans that originated prior to the fourth quarter of 2018, have not been renewed or modified, and do not mature prior to December 31, 2021. This represented approximately 100 commercial loans totaling approximately $500 million; however, only 40 of those loans, totaling $73 million, mature after June 2023 (the date upon which the LIBOR indices used by the Company are expected to no longer be available). The Company also has a portfolio of residential mortgage loans tied to LIBOR indices with standard index replacement language included (approximately $400 million), and that portfolio is being monitored for potential changes that may be facilitated by the mortgage industry. As described, the vast majority of the loan portfolio tied to LIBOR now includes robust LIBOR replacement language which identifies appropriate “trigger” events for the cessation of LIBOR and the steps that the Company will take upon the occurrence of one or more of those events, including adjustments to any rate margin to ensure that the replacement interest rate on the loan is equivalent to the previous LIBOR-based rate.
Available-for-sale Securities.In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, available-for-sale securities increased $71.7$42.7 million, or 19.2%10.3%, from $374.2$414.9 million at December 31, 2019,2020, to $445.9$457.7 million at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of FNMA and GNMAU.S. Government agency fixed-rate multi-family mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations and short-term municipalobligation securities, partially offset by calls of municipal securities and normal monthly payments received related to the portfolio of mortgage-backedthese U.S. Government agency securities. The Company used increased deposits to fund this increase in investment securities.
Deposits.The Company attracts deposit accounts through its retail branch network, correspondent banking and corporate services areas, and brokered deposits. The Company then utilizes these deposit funds, along with FHLBank advances and other borrowings, to meet loan demand or otherwise fund its activities. In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, total deposit balances increased $483.7$110.0 million, or 12.2%2.4%. TransactionTransaction account balances increased $694.3$249.2 million, or 31.0%8.0%, to $2.93$3.38 billion at September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, while retail certificates of deposit decreased $81.8$80.9 million, or 6.1%6.6%, to $1.27$1.15 billion at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. The increases in transaction accounts were primarily a result of increased customersincreases in the CDARS reciprocal program,various money market accounts and NOW deposit accounts. Retail certificates of deposit decreased due to a decrease in retail certificates generated through the banking center network partially offset byand decreases in National CDs initiated through internet channels. CDs initiated through internet channels experienced a planned decrease due to increases in customer deposits inoverall liquidity levels and to reduce the CDARS reciprocal program.Company’s cost of funds. Customer deposits at September 30, 2020 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, totaling $56.1$36.5 million and $35.3$39.4 million, respectively, were part of the CDARS program, which allows customers to maintain balances in an insured manner that would otherwise exceed the FDIC deposit insurance limit. Brokered deposits, including CDARS program purchased funds, were $242.9$100.4 million at September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, a decrease of $128.8$58.3 million from $371.7$158.7 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The brokered deposits were allowed to mature without replacement as other deposit categories increased.
increased and to reduce the Company’s cost of funds.
Our deposit balances may fluctuate depending on customer preferences and our relative need for funding. We do not consider our retail certificates of deposit to be guaranteed long-term funding because customers can withdraw their funds at any time with minimal
44
interest penalty. When loan demand trends upward, we can increase rates paid on deposits to attract more deposits and utilize brokered deposits to provide additional funding. The level of competition for deposits in our markets is high. It is our goal to gain deposit market share, particularly checking accounts, in our branch footprint. To accomplish this goal, increasing rates to attract deposits may be necessary, which could negatively impact the Company’s net interest margin.
Our ability to fund growth in future periods may also depend on our ability to continue to access brokered deposits and FHLBank advances. In times when our loan demand has outpaced our generation of new deposits, we have utilized brokered deposits and FHLBank advances to fund these loans. These funding sources have been attractive to us because we can create either fixed or variable rate funding, as desired, which more closely matches the interest rate nature of much of our loan portfolio. It also gives us greater flexibility in increasing or decreasing the duration of our funding. While we do not currently anticipate that our ability to access these sources will be reduced or eliminated in future periods, if this should happen, the limitation on our ability to fund additional loans could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Short-Term Borrowings. The Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020, there were also no overnight borrowings from the FHLBank. At December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings from the FHLBank other than overnight advances, which are included in the short term borrowings category.
Short term borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities decreased $227.0 million from $228.2 million at December 31, 2019 to $1.2 million at September 30, 2020. The short term borrowings included overnight FHLBank borrowings of $-0- and $196.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company utilizes both overnight borrowings and short-term FHLBank advances depending on relative interest rates.
Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements with customers. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements with customers increased $70.8decreased $23.5 million from $84.2$164.2 million at December 31, 20192020 to $155.0$140.7 million at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. These balances fluctuate over time based on customer demand for this product. A large portion of this increase is related to two customers who placed additional funds in these account types.
Subordinated notes. Subordinated notes increased $74.0 million from $74.2 million at December 31, 2019 to $148.2 million at September 30, 2020. The Company issued $75.0 million of subordinated notes in June 2020, receiving net proceeds of $73.5 million.
Net Interest Income and Interest Rate Risk Management.Our net interest income may be affected positively or negatively by changes in market interest rates. A large portion of our loan portfolio is tied to one-month LIBOR, three-month LIBOR or the "prime rate"“prime rate” and adjusts immediately or shortly after the index rate adjusts (subject to the effect of contractual interest rate floors on some of the loans, which are discussed below). We monitor our sensitivity to interest rate changes on an ongoing basis (see "Item“Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk"Risk”). In addition, our net interest income has been impacted by changes in the cash flows expected to be received from acquired loan pools. As described in Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report, the Company’s evaluation of cash flows expected to be received from acquired loan pools has been on-going and increases in cash flow expectations have been recognized as increases in accretable yield through interest income. Decreases in cash flow expectations have been recognized as impairments through the allowance for loancredit losses.
The current level and shape of the interest rate yield curve poses challenges for interest rate risk management. Prior to its increase of 0.25% on December 16, 2015, the FRB had last changed interest rates on December 16, 2008. This was the first rate increase since September 29, 2006. The FRB also implemented rate change increases of 0.25% on eight additional occasions beginning December 14, 2016 and through December 31, 2018, with the Federal Funds rate reaching as high as 2.50%. After December 2018, the FRB paused its rate increases and, in July, September and October 2019, implemented rate change decreases of 0.25% on each of those occasions. At December 31, 2019, the Federal Funds rate stood at 1.75%. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB decreased interest rates on two occasions in March 2020, a 0.50% decrease on March 3 and a 1.00% decrease on March 16. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Federal Funds rate stood at 0.25%. The FRB met in April 2021 and indicated they plan to keep the rates steady. A substantial portion of Great Southern’s loan portfolio ($2.102.00 billion at September 30, 2020)March 31, 2021) is tied to the one-month or three-month LIBOR index and will be subject to adjustment at least once within 90 days after September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Of these loans, $2.08$1.97 billion had interest rate floors. Great Southern also has a portfolio of loans ($256246 million at September 30, 2020)March 31, 2021) tied to a "prime rate"“prime rate” of interest and will adjust immediately with changes to the “prime rate” of interest. A rate cut by the FRB generally would have an anticipated immediate negative impact on the Company’s net interest income due to the large total balance of loans tied to the one-month or three-month LIBOR index and will be subject to adjustment at least once within 90 days or loans which generally adjust immediately as the Federal Funds rate adjusts. Interest rate floors may at least partially mitigate the negative impact of interest rate decreases. Loans at their floor rates are, however, subject to the risk that borrowers will seek to refinance elsewhere at the lower market rate. Because the Federal Funds rate is again very low, there may also be a negative impact on the Company'sCompany’s net interest income due to the Company'sCompany’s inability to significantly lower its funding costs in the current competitive rate environment, although interest rates on assets may decline further. Conversely, interest rate increases would normally result in increased interest rates on our LIBOR-based and prime-based loans. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Great Southern'sSouthern’s interest rate risk models indicate that, generally, rising interest rates are expected to have a positive impact on the Company'sCompany’s net interest income,
while declining interest rates are expected to have a negative impact on net interest income. We model various interest rate scenarios for rising and falling rates, including both parallel and non-parallel shifts in rates. The results of our modeling indicate that net interest income is not likely to be significantly affected either positively or negatively in the first twelve months following a rate change, regardless of any changes in interest rates, because our portfolios are relatively well-matched in a twelve-month horizon. In a situation where market interest rates decrease significantly in a short period of time, as they did in March 2020, our net interest margin decrease may be more pronounced in the very near term (first one to three months), due to fairly rapid decreases in LIBOR interest rates. In the subsequent months we expect that the net interest margin would stabilize and begin to improve, as renewal interest rates on maturing time deposits are expected to decrease compared to the current rates paid on those products. During the latter half of 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did experience some compression of our net interest margin percentage due to 2.25% of
45
Federal Fund rate cuts during the nine month period of July 2019 through March 2020. Margin compression primarily resulted from generally slower changing average interest rates on depositschanges in the asset mix, mainly the addition of lower-yielding asset and borrowings and lower yields on loans and other interest-earning assets.the issuance of subordinated notes during 2020. LIBOR interest rates have recently decreased, putting pressure on loan yields, and strong pricing competition for loans and deposits remains in most of our markets.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – How We Measure the Risks to Us Associated with Interest Rate Changes.”
Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest (Operating) Expenses.The Company'sCompany’s profitability is also affected by the level of its non-interest income and operating expenses. Non-interest income consists primarily of service charges and ATM fees, late charges and prepayment fees on loans, gains on sales of loans and available-for-sale investments and other general operating income. Non-interest income may also be affected by the Company'sCompany’s interest rate derivative activities, if the Company chooses to implement derivatives. See Note 16 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy-related expenses, expenses related to foreclosed assets, postage, FDIC deposit insurance, advertising and public relations, telephone, professional fees, office expenses and other general operating expenses. Details of the current period changes in non-interest income and non-interest expense are provided in the “Results of Operations and Comparison for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019”2020” section of this report.
Effect of Federal Laws and Regulations
General.Federal legislation and regulation significantly affect the operations of the Company and the Bank, and have increased competition among commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking enterprises and other financial institutions. In particular, the capital requirements and operations of regulated banking organizations such as the Company and the Bank have been and will be subject to changes in applicable statutes and regulations from time to time, which changes could, under certain circumstances, adversely affect the Company or the Bank.
Dodd-Frank Act.In 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act implemented far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape. Certain aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act have been affected by the more recently enacted Economic Growth Act, as defined and discussed below under “-Economic Growth Act.”
Capital Rules.The federal banking agencies have adopted regulatory capital rules that substantially amend the risk-based capital rules applicable to the Bank and the Company. The rules implement the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. “Basel III” refers to various documents released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. For the Company and the Bank, the general effective date of the rules was January 1, 2015, and, for certain provisions, various phase-in periods and later effective dates apply. The chief features of these rules are summarized below.
The rules refine the definitions of what constitutes regulatory capital and add a new regulatory capital element, common equity Tier 1 capital. The minimum capital ratios are (i) a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. In addition to the minimum capital ratios, the rules include a capital conservation buffer, under which a banking organization must have CET1 more than 2.5% above each of its minimum risk-based capital ratios in order to avoid restrictions on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying certain discretionary bonuses. The capital conservation buffer requirement began phasing in on January 1, 2016 when a buffer greater than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets was required, which amount increased an equal amount each year until the buffer requirement of greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets became fully implemented on January 1, 2019.
Effective January 1, 2015, these rules also revised the prompt corrective action framework, which is designed to place restrictions on insured depository institutions if their capital levels show signs of weakness. Under the revised prompt corrective action requirements, insured depository institutions are required to meet the following in order to
qualify as “well capitalized:” (i) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.5%, (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, (iii) a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10% and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%, and must not be subject to an order, agreement or directive mandating a specific capital level.
Economic Growth Act.In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Economic Growth Act”), was enacted to modify or eliminate certain financial reform rules and regulations, including some implemented under the Dodd-Frank Act. While the Economic Growth Act maintains most of the regulatory structure established by the Dodd-Frank Act, it amends
46
certain aspects of the regulatory framework for small depository institutions with assets of less than $10 billion and for large banks with assets of more than $50 billion. Many of these amendments could result in meaningful regulatory changes.
The Economic Growth Act, among other matters, expands the definition of qualified mortgages which may be held by a financial institution and simplifies the regulatory capital rules for financial institutions and their holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion by instructing the federal banking regulators to establish a single “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” of between 8 and 10 percent. Any qualifying depository institution or its holding company that exceeds the “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” will be considered to have met generally applicable leverage and risk-based regulatory capital requirements and any qualifying depository institution that exceeds the new ratio will be considered “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action rules. Effective January 1, 2020, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 9.0%. In April 2020, pursuant to the CARES Act, the federal bank regulatory agencies announced the issuance of two interim final rules, effective immediately, to provide temporary relief to community banking organizations. Under the interim final rules, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio requirement is a minimum of 8% for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5% for calendar year 2021, and 9% thereafter. The Company and the Bank have chosen to not utilize the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio due to the Company’s size and complexity, including its commercial real estate and construction lending concentrations and significant off-balance sheet funding commitments.
In addition, the Economic Growth Act includes regulatory relief in the areas of examination cycles, call reports, mortgage disclosures and risk weights for certain high-risk commercial real estate loans.
Business Initiatives
Great Southern is actively monitoring and responding to the effects of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. As always, the health, safety and well-being of our customers, associates and communities while maintaining uninterrupted service are the Company’s top priorities. See the “COVID-19 Business Impact and Response” section of this report for further information, including the Company’s participation in the SBA’s PPP for small businesses.
The Company’s banking center network continues to evolve. In August 2020, remodeling of the downtown office at 1900 Main in Parsons, Kansas, was completed, which included the addition of drive-thru banking lanes. With this completion, the nearby drive-thru facility was consolidated into the downtown office, leaving one location serving the Parsons market.
In the Joplin, Missouri,Mo., market, the Company purchased a banking facility in the fourth quarter oflate 2019 vacated by another financial institution, which included a contractual black-out period ending in April 2021. A third party vendor has been engaged by the Company to redesign this facility as a “bank of the future” prototype to incorporate evolving customer preferences. Variations of this prototype design may be utilized in other select banking centers in the Company’s footprint in the future. The Company expects the new office in Joplin to be completed in the secondthird quarter of 2021, whereupon the nearby leased banking center at 1710 E. 32nd Street will be consolidated into this new office. There are two banking centers currently serving the Joplin market.

Results of Operations and Comparison for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019
General
Net income was $13.5$18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to $19.7$14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. This decreaseincrease of $6.3$4.0 million, or 31.8%26.9%, was primarily due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments of $4.2 million, or 109.7%, an increase in noninterest income of $2.4 million, or 32.2%, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $3.3 million,$494,000, or 11.4%1.6%, partially offset by an increase in provision for loan lossesincome tax expense of $2.6$2.3 million, or 130.8%82.1%, and a decrease in net interest income of $1.8 million$849,000, or 3.8%, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $811,000, or 9.4%, and a decrease in income tax expense of $480,000, or 11.5%1.9%.

Total interest income decreased $11.2 million, or 6.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a $12.1 million decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $916,000 increase in interest income on investments and other interest-earning assets. Interest income on loans decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to lower average rates of interest on loans, partially offset by higher average balances. Interest income from investment securities and other interest-earning assets increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to higher average balances of investment securities and other interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower average rates of interest.
Interest Income – Loans
During the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, interest income on loans decreased $10.7$8.6 million as a result of lower average interest rates on loans. The average yield on loans decreased from 5.41%5.15% during the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, to 4.46%4.39% during the three months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to decreased yields in most loan categories as a result of decreased LIBOR and Federal Funds interest rates. In addition in the 2020 period, the Company originated $121 million of PPP loans, which have a much lower yield compared to the overall loan portfolio. Interest income on loans increased $4.0$2.2 million as the result of higher average loan balances, which increased from $4.20$4.23 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, to $4.51$4.41 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. The higher average balances were primarily due to organic loan growth in commercial business loans, (including the PPP loans), other residential (multi-family), and one- to four-family residential loans, partially offset by decreases in outstanding construction and consumer loans.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, interest income on loans decreased $21.5 million as a result of lower average interest rates on loans. The average yield on loans decreased from 5.41% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, to 4.74% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to decreased yields in most loan categories as a result of decreased LIBOR and Federal Funds interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease also includes PPP loans, which have a much lower yield compared to the overall loan portfolio. Interest income on loans increased $9.4 million as the result of higher average loan balances, which increased from $4.14 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, to $4.38 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The higher average balances were primarily due to organic growth in commercial business loans (including the PPP loans), other residential (multi-family)real estate loans and one- to four-family residential loans, partially offset by decreases in outstanding construction loans and consumer loans.
On an on-going basis, the Company has estimated the cash flows expected to be collected from acquiredFDIC-acquired loan pools. For each of the loan portfolios acquired, the cash flow estimates have increased, based on the payment histories and the collection of certain loans, thereby reducing loss expectations of certain loan pools, resulting in adjustments to be spread on a level-yield basis over the remaining expected lives of the loan pools. The entire amount of the discount adjustment has been and will be accreted to interest income over time. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, the adjustments increased interest income by $1.2$691,000 and $1.9 million, and $2.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the adjustments increased interest income by $4.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the remaining accretable yield adjustment that will affect interest income was $2.9$1.3 million. Of the remaining adjustments affecting interest income, we expect to recognize $932,000approximately $900,000 of interest income during the fourth quarterremainder of 2021. As discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report, we adopted the new accounting standard related to accounting for credit losses as of January 1, 2021. With the adoption of this standard, there is no further reclassification of discounts from non-accretable to accretable subsequent to December 31, 2020. All adjustments made prior to January 1, 2021, will continue to be accreted to interest income. Apart from the yield accretion, the average yield on loans was 4.35%4.33% during the three months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, compared to 5.20%4.97% during the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, as a result of lower current market rates on adjustable rate loans and new loans originated during the past year. Apart from the yield accretion, the average yield on loans was 4.60% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 5.24% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $400 million with a contractual termination date in October 2025. Under the terms of the swap, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 3.018% and paid a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-LIBOR. The floating rate reset monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occurred monthly. To the extent that the fixed rate exceeded one-month USD-LIBOR, the Company received net interest settlements, which were recorded as interest income on loans. If one-month USD-LIBOR exceeded the fixed rate of interest, the Company was required to pay net settlements to the counterparty and record those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. The Company recorded interest income related to the swap of $2.0 million and $5.6$1.6 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company recorded loan interest income related to this swap transaction of $801,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
OnIn March 2, 2020, the Company and its swap counterparty mutually agreed to terminate the $400 million interest rate swap effective immediately.prior to its contractual maturity. The Company received a payment of $45.9 million including accrued but unpaid interest, from its swap counterparty as a result of this termination. This $45.9 million, less the accrued interest portion and net of deferred income taxes, is reflected in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and a portion of it will be accreted to interest income on loans monthly through the original contractual termination date of October 6, 2025. This will have the effect of reducing Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and increasing Net Interest Income and Retained Earnings over the period. In each quarterly period, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2020, until the original contract termination date, the Company expects to record loan interest income related to this swap transaction of approximately $2.0 million, based on the termination values of the swap.
The Company currently expects to have an amount of eligible variable rate loans to continue to accrete this interest income in future periods. If this expectation changes and the amount of eligible variable rate loans decreases significantly, the Company may be required to recognize this interest income more rapidly.
Interest Income – Investments and Other Interest-earning Assets

In both three month periods, the Company’s net interest income and margin were positively impacted by the increases in expected cash flows from the FDIC-assisted acquired loan pools and the resulting increase to accretable yield, which were previously discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The positive impact of these changes in the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were increases in interest income of $1.2 million$691,000 and $2.3$1.9 million, respectively, and increases in net interest margin of 9five basis points and 2016 basis points, respectively. Excluding the positive impact of the additional yield accretion, in the three months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, net interest margin decreased 4833 basis points when compared to the year-ago three month period. The decrease was partially due to lower marketMost of the net interest rates, which caused lower LIBOR interest rates and generally resulted in lower yields on loans and other interest-earning assets. The margin decrease also resulted from an increasechanges in interest-earning assets that were primarily at rates that were much lower than the then-current portfolio rates. Increases included $311 million inasset mix, with average loan balances ($120 million of which were PPP loans), $191 million in average interest-earning cash equivalents balancesincreasing $329 million and $107 million in average investment securities balances.

Management estimates the Bank. The amount of provision charged against current income is based on several factors, including, but not limitedallowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, actual and potential losses identified in the loan portfolio, economic conditions, and internaldelinquency level, or term as well as external reviews. The levels of non-performing assets, potential problem loans, loan loss provisionsfor changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in the national unemployment rate, commercial real estate price index, housing price index and net charge-offs fluctuate from period to period and are difficult to predict.
national retail sales index.
Worsening economic conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic, higher inflation or interest rates, or other factors may lead to increased losses in the portfolio and/or requirements for an increase in loan loss provision expense. Management maintains various controls in an attempt to limit future losses, such as a watch list of possible problem loans, documented loan administration policies and loan review staff to review the quality and anticipated collectability of the portfolio. Additional procedures provide for frequent management review of the loan portfolio based on loan size, loan type, delinquencies, financial analysis, on-going correspondence with borrowers and problem loan work-outs. Management determines which loans are potentially uncollectible, or represent a greater risk of loss, and makes additional provisions to expense, if necessary, to maintain the allowance at a satisfactory level.
The provision for loancredit losses on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was $4.5 million$300,000 compared with $2.0$3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The provision for loan losses forMarch 31, 2020. In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020 was $14.4 million compared with $5.5 million forMarch 31, 2021, the nine months ended September 30, 2019.Company experienced net recoveries of $64,000. Total net charge-offs were $63,000 and $798,000$237,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2020. The provision for losses on unfunded commitments for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was a credit of $674,000, as the level and 2019, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2020,mix of unfunded commitments resulted in a substantial portion of the net charge-offs weredecrease in the consumer category. Total net charge-offs were $427,000 and $3.5 millionrequired reserve for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a substantial portion of net charge-offs were in the consumer category. The Company experienced net recoveries in some of the other loan categories.such potential losses. We have seen and expect to continue to see rapid reductions in the outstanding automobile loan balance as we determined in February 2019 to cease providing indirect lending services to automobile dealerships. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, indirect automobile loans totaled approximately $60$38 million. We expect this balance will be largely paid off in the next two years. General market conditions and unique circumstances related to specific industries and individual projects contributed to the level of provisions and charge-offs. Collateral and repayment evaluations of all assets categorized as potential problem loans, non-performing loans or foreclosed assets were completed with corresponding charge-offs or reserve allocations made as appropriate.
All FDIC-acquired loans were grouped into pools based on common characteristics and were recorded at their estimated fair values, which incorporated estimated credit losses at the acquisition date. These loan pools have been systematically reviewed by the Company to determine the risk of losses that may exceed those identified at the time of the acquisition. Techniques used in determining risk of loss are similar to those used to determine the risk of loss for the legacy Great Southern Bank portfolio, with most focus being placed on those loan pools which include the larger loan relationships and those loan pools which exhibit higher risk characteristics. Review of the acquired loan portfolio also includes review of financial information, collateral valuations and customer interaction to determine if additional reserves are warranted.
The Bank’s allowance for loancredit losses as a percentage of total loans excluding FDIC-assisted acquired loans, was 1.24%1.56% and 1.00%1.32% at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Prior to January 1, 2021, the ratio excluded the FDIC-assisted acquired loans. Management considers the allowance for loancredit losses adequate to cover losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, based on recent reviews of the Bank’s loan portfolio and current economic conditions. If challenging economic conditions were to last longer than anticipated or deteriorate further or management’s assessment of the loan portfolio were to change, it is expected that additional loan loss provisions wouldcould be required, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.
Non-performing Assets
Non-performing assets acquired through FDIC-assisted transactions, including foreclosed assets and potential problem loans, are not included in the totals or in the discussion of non-performing loans, potential problem loans and foreclosed assets below. These assets were initially recorded at their estimated fair values as of their acquisition dates and are accounted for in pools. Therefore, these loan pools are analyzed rather than the individual loans. The overall performance of the loan pools acquired in each of the five FDIC-assisted transactions has been better than original expectations as of the acquisition dates.
As a result of changes in balances and composition of the loan portfolio, changes in economic and market conditions and other factors specific to a borrower’s circumstances, the level of non-performing assets will fluctuate.
Non-performingAt March 31, 2021, non-performing assets, excluding all FDIC-assisted acquiredincluding FDIC-acquired assets, at September 30, 2020 were $5.5$10.9 million, a decreasean increase of $2.7$2.8 million from $8.2$8.1 million at December 31, 2019.2020.

Potential Problem Loans.Compared to December 31, 2019,2020, and excluding all FDIC-acquired loans, potential problem loans decreased $753,000, or 17.2%,$720,000 to $3.6 million at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Compared to December 31, 2020, potential problem loans, including the FDIC-assisted acquired loans, decreased $757,000, or 12.9%, to $5.1 million at March 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to payments of $1.6 million$123,000 on potential problem loans, $119,000$576,000 in loans transferred to non-performing loans, $59,000upgraded and removed from the potential problem loan category, $34,000 in loans transferred to foreclosed assets and repossessions, and $102,000$44,000 in loan write-downs, partially offset by $1.1 million$21,000 in loans added to potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are loans which management has identified through routine internal review procedures as having possible credit problems that may cause the borrowers difficulty in complying with the current repayment terms. These loans are not reflected in non-performing assets, but are considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. assets.

Due to the deterioratingcontinued economic conditions fromuncertainty associated with COVID-19, it is possible that we could experience an increase in potential problem loans induring the remainder of 2020.2021. As noted, we experienced an increased level of loan modifications in late March through June 2020; however, loan modifications were much lower at September 30, 2020 comparedhave continued to June 30, 2020.trend down through March 31, 2021. In accordance with the CARES Act and guidance from the banking regulatory agencies, we made certain short-term modifications to loan terms to help our customers navigate through the current pandemic situation. Although loan modifications were made, they did not result in these loans being classified as troubled debt restructurings,TDRs, potential problem loans or non-performing loans. If more severe or lengthier negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic occur or the effects of the SBA loan programs and other loan and stimulus programs do not enable companies and individuals to completely recover financially, this could result in longer-term modifications, which may be deemed to be troubled debt restructurings,TDRs, additional potential problem loans and/or additional non-performing loans. Further actions on our part, including additions to the allowance for loancredit losses, could result.

One sold during the three months ended March 31, 2020 for $380,000, resulting in a gain of $70,000 and the other sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020 for $419,000, resulting in a gain of $128,000.were FDIC-acquired assets). The amount of additions and sales in the consumer category are due to the volume of repossessions of automobiles, which generally are subject to a shorter repossession process. The Company experienced increased levels of delinquencies and repossessions in indirect and used automobile loans throughout 2016 and 2017. The level of delinquencies and repossessions in indirect and used automobile loans generally decreased in 2018 through 2020.
Loans Classified “Watch”
The Company reviews the credit quality of its loan portfolio using an internal grading system that classifies loans as “Satisfactory,” “Watch,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard” and “Doubtful.” Loans classified as “Watch” are being monitored because of indications of potential weaknesses or deficiencies that may require future classification as special mention or substandard. In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, loans classified as “Watch” increased $27.0decreased $20.0 million, from $37.4$64.8 million at December 31, 20192020 to $64.4$44.8 million at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. This increasedecrease was primarily due to loans being upgraded out of the addition of two unrelated loan relationships involving five total loans. One“watch” category, which primarily included one $14.3 million relationship totaled $15.5 million and was collateralized by a shopping center project. The otherand one $3.9 million relationship totaled $10.9 million and was collateralized by multiple indoor recreational facilities.a shopping center and other real estate and business assets. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company’s loan grading system.
Non-interest Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, non-interest income increased $811,000$2.4 million to $9.5$9.7 million when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the following items:
Net gains on loan sales: Net gains on loan sales increased $1.9$2.1 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was due to an increase in originations of fixed-rate loans during the 20202021 period compared to the 20192020 period. Approximately 59.0% of the one- to- four-family residential loan originations in the three months ended September 30, 2020 were refinanced loans. Fixed rate single-family mortgage loans originated are generally subsequently sold in the secondary market.
Service charges, debit card and ATM fees: Service charges, debit card and ATM fees decreased $927,000 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft and insufficient funds fees on customer accounts. This was due to both a reduction in usage by customers and a decision near the end of the first quarter of 2020 to waive (through August 31, 2020) certain fees for customers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of that decision were felt during the second and third quarters of 2020. In addition, the Company recorded less in debit card and ATM fees due to a reduction in debit card and ATM usage between the periods. We also saw a temporary decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2020, in our interchange income due to an adjustment by a vendor in one of their pricing models. Though a resolution was found and the income reestablished, negotiations continue to solidify longer term interchange stability.
Other income: Other income decreased $442,000 compared to the prior year period. In the 2019 period, the Company recognized approximately $510,000 in income related to origination of interest rate swaps in the Company’s back-to-back swap program with loan customers and swap counterparties.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, non-interest income increased $1.8 million to $25.1 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the following items:
Net gains on loan sales: Net gains on loan sales increased $3.7 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was due to an increase in originations of fixed-rate loans during the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period. Approximately 61.2% of the one- to- four-family residentialFixed-rate mortgage loan originations increased substantially when market interest rates decreased to historically low levels in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were refinanced loans. As noted above, fixed rate single-family mortgage loans originated are generally subsequently sold in the secondary market.
Other income2020.: Other income increased $452,000 compared to the prior year period. In the 2020 period, the Company recognized approximately $658,000 of additional fee income related to newly-originated interest rate swaps in the Company’s back-to-back swap program with loan customers and swap counterparties when compared to the 2019 period. The Company also recognized approximately $541,000 in income related to the exit of certain tax credit partnerships during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the 2019 period, the Company recognized gains totaling $677,000 from the sale of, or recovery of, receivables and assets that were acquired several years prior in FDIC-assisted transactions, with no similar sales or recoveries in the current period.
Service charges, debit card and ATM fees: Service charges, debit card and ATM fees decreased $2.3 million compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft and insufficient funds fees on customer accounts. As noted above, a decision to waive (through August 31, 2020) certain fees for customers was made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company recorded less in debit card and ATM fees due to a reduction in debit card and ATM usage between the periods. Also, during the first quarter of 2020, $200,000 in additional expenses were netted against ATM fee income due to the conversion to a new debit card processing system. We also saw a temporary decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2020, in our interchange income due to an adjustment by a vendor in one of their pricing models. Though a resolution was found and the income reestablished, negotiations continue to solidify longer term interchange stability.
Gain (loss) on derivative interest rate products: The net lossgain on derivative interest rate products increased $255,000$881,000 compared to the net loss in the prior year period. In the 20202021 period, the Company recognized a $424,000 decrease$474,000 increase in the net fair value related to interest rate swaps in the Company’s back-to-back swap program with loan customers and swap counterparties compared to a $169,000 decrease in the 2019 period.counterparties.

these back-to-back swaps. This is a non-cash item as there was no required settlement of this amount between the Company and its swap counterparties.
Other income: Other income decreased $616,000 compared to the prior year period. In the 2020 period, the Company recognized approximately $486,000 of fee income related to newly-originated interest rate swaps in the Company’s back-to-back swap program with loan customers and swap counterparties, with no such fee income generated in the current period. In the 2020 period, the Company also recognized more income related to the exit of certain tax credit partnerships.

Salaries and employee benefits: Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.9decreased $1.0 million from the prior year period. The increase was partially due to annual employee compensation merit increases and increased incentives in the mortgage division, where we have added staff and variable compensation increased due to significant increases in new mortgage loan originations, much of which is sold in the secondary market as noted above. Additionally, in AugustIn March 2020, the Company paidapproved a special cash bonus to all employees totaling $1.1 million in response to the ongoing impacts ofCOVID-19 pandemic. This bonus was not repeated in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Net occupancy expense: Net occupancy expense increased $534,000 compared to the prior year period. This was primarily related to increased depreciation on new ATM/ITMs and ATM operating software upgrades implemented during the fourthfirst quarter of 2019.

2021.
Insurance: Insurance expense increased $414,000$378,000 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums.

The deposit insurance fund balance was sufficient to causeresult in no premium to bebeing due for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Expense on other real estate owned and repossessions: Expense on other real estate owned and repossessions decreased $404,000$211,000 compared to the prior year period primarily due to saleshigher valuation write-downs of other assets and higher expenses related to certain foreclosed assets during the prior year2020 period. During the 20192020 period, expenses related to certain foreclosed assets totaled approximately $572,000,$414,000, while such expenses in the 20202021 period totaled approximately $278,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, non-interest expense increased $6.5 million to $92.2 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the following items:
Salaries and employee benefits: Salaries and employee benefits increased $6.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period. The increase was partially due to annual employee compensation merit increases and increased incentives in lending, including mortgage lending activities as noted above, and operations areas. Additionally, in March 2020, the Company approved a special cash bonus to all employees totaling $1.1 million in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2020, the Company paid a second special cash bonus to all employees totaling $1.1 million in response to the pandemic.
Net occupancy expense: Net occupancy expense increased $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, the Company'sCompany’s effective tax rate was 21.5%21.0% and 17.5%15.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company's effective tax rate was 18.8% and 17.6%, respectively. Except for the three months ended September 30, 2020, theseThese effective rates were lower thanat or below the statutory federal tax rate of 21%, due primarily to the utilization of certain investment tax credits and to tax-exempt investments and tax-exempt loans, which reduced the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate in future periods as it is impacted by the level and timing of the Company’s utilization of tax credits, and the level of tax-exempt investments and loans, the amount of taxable income in various state jurisdictions and the overall level of pre-tax income. The Company'shigher effective tax rate in the 2021 period was due to higher overall income, lower levels of low income housing tax credits and less tax-exempt interest income compared to prior periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate is currently generally expected to remain at or below the statutory federal tax rate due primarily to the factors noted above. In 2020, the Company’s state income tax expenses have been higher than normal in various states due to the recognition of income for tax purposes related to the gain recognized on the termination of the interest rate swap. State tax expense estimates have evolved throughout the year as taxable income and apportionment between states has been analyzed. The Company currently expects its effective tax rate (combined federal and state) to be approximately 18.5%19.5% to 19.5% for the full year of 2020 and 17.5% to 18.5%20.5% in future years.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following tables present the dollar amounts of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods shown. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume) and (ii) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to volume and rate. Tax-exempt income was not calculated on a tax equivalent basis.

Liquidity
Liquidity is a measure of the Company'sCompany’s ability to generate sufficient cash to meet present and future financial obligations in a timely manner through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. These obligations include the credit needs of customers, funding deposit withdrawals, and the day-to-day operations of the Company. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions and certain investment securities and loans. As a result of the Company’s management of the ability to generate liquidity primarily through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors'depositors’ requirements and meet its borrowers’ credit needs. At September 30, 2020,

The Company'sCompany’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, FHLBank advances, other borrowings, loan repayments, unpledged securities, proceeds from sales of loans and available-for-sale securities and funds provided from operations. The Company utilizes particular sources of funds based on the comparative costs and availability at the time. The Company has from time to time chosen not to pay rates on deposits as high as the rates paid by certain of its competitors and, when believed to be appropriate, supplements deposits with less expensive alternative sources of funds.
At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had these available secured lines and on-balance sheet liquidity:
Statements of Cash Flows. During both the Cash flows from operating activities for the periods covered by the Statements of Cash Flows have been primarily related to changes in accrued and deferred assets, credits and other liabilities, the provision for loans held for sale were the primary source of cash flows from operating activities. Operating activities provided cash flows of During the Changes in cash flows from financing activities during the periods covered by the Statements of Cash Flows are due to changes in deposits after interest credited 59 dividend payments to stockholders, purchases of the Company’s common stock and the exercise of common stock options. Financing activities provided cash of stockholders and the purchase of the Company’s common stock. Capital Resources Management continuously reviews the capital position of the Company and the Bank to ensure compliance with minimum regulatory requirements, as well as to explore ways to increase capital either by retained earnings or other means. At Included in stockholders’ equity at Also included in stockholders’ equity at Banks are required to maintain minimum risk-based capital ratios. These ratios compare capital, as defined by the risk-based regulations, to assets adjusted for their relative risk as defined by the regulations. Under current guidelines banks must have a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.00%, a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%. To be considered 6.50%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.00%, a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%. On The FRB has established capital regulations for bank holding companies that generally parallel the capital regulations for banks. On
In addition to the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio, the Company and the Bank have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional common equity Tier 1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. At March 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank both had additional common equity Tier 1 capital in excess of the buffer amount. 60 For additional information, see “Item 1.

On October 21, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to one million additional shares of the Company’s common stock under a program of open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. The authorization of this program became effective in November 2020 and does not have an expiration date. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) assets. In calculating the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, we subtract period-end intangible assets from common equity and from total assets. Management believes that the presentation of this measure excluding the impact of intangible assets provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial condition and results of operations, as it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing a measure that excludes balances of intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that this is a standard financial measure used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.

62 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk A principal operating objective of the Company is to produce Our Risk When Interest Rates Change The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk. How We Measure the Risk to Us Associated with Interest Rate Changes In an attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor Great The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained despite fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate repricing The current level and shape of the interest rate yield curve poses challenges for interest rate risk management. Prior to its increase of 0.25% on December 16, 2015, the FRB had last changed interest rates on December 16, 2008. This was the first rate increase since September 29, 2006. The FRB also implemented rate change increases of 0.25% on eight additional occasions beginning December 14, 2016 and through December 31, 2018, with the Federal Funds rate reaching as high as 2.50%. After December 2018, the FRB paused its rate increases and, in July, September and October 2019, implemented rate decreases of 0.25% on each of those occasions. At December 31, 2019, the Federal Funds rate stood at 1.75%. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 63
2021) tied to a Interest rate risk exposure estimates (the sensitivity gap) are not exact measures of an In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases and decreases in interest rates on Great In order to manage its assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, Great Southern has focused its strategies on originating adjustable rate loans or loans with fixed rates that mature in less than five years, and managing its deposits and borrowings to establish stable relationships with both retail customers and wholesale funding sources. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, we may determine to increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain or increase our net interest margin. The Asset and Liability Committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an In the normal course of business, the Company may use derivative financial instruments (primarily interest rate swaps) from time to time to assist in its interest rate risk management. In 2011, the Company began executing interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Because the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. These interest rate derivatives result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. In October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $400 million with a contractual termination date of October 6, 2025. Under the terms of the swap, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 3.018% and paid a floating rate of 64 interest equal to one-month USD-LIBOR. The floating rate reset monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occurred monthly. Due to lower market interest rates, the Company received net interest settlements which were recorded as loan interest income. If USD-LIBOR exceeded the fixed rate of interest, the Company was required to pay net settlements to the counterparty and record those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative was reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affected earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. In March 2020, the Company and its swap counterparty mutually agreed to terminate the $400 million interest rate swap prior to its contractual maturity. The Company received a payment of $45.9 million from its swap counterparty as a result of this termination. The Company’s interest rate derivatives and hedging activities are discussed further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule We do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened legal actions, some of which seek substantial relief or damages. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, after reviewing pending and threatened litigation with counsel, management believes at this time that the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 65 Item 1A.
